Hatton Ferry

Hatton Ferry has been named one of the Top 15 for '15 Historic Sites for History Buffs! Join us for our 2017 season and see why! Season runs from mid-April through the last weekend in October.

The Hatton Ferry is located outside Scottsville and runs on Saturday 9-5 and Sunday Noon-5 from mid-April through the end of October. Visitors may ride the ferry across the James River, if water levels permit, $5 per person and $10 per vehicle.

A ride on the ferry is an unique opportunity to experience times past; ferries have served Albemarle and Buckingham Counties since the mid-eighteenth century, and provided a means by which European settlers could communicate with other settlers and establish commercial ventures. Visitors may ride the ferry across the James River, if water levels permit, $5 per person and $10 per vehicle.

Please note that the operation of the ferry is dependent on the water level of the James River.
